LGBT Parenting Roundup

CBS Minnesota’s WCCO This Morning each week “[rewards] a hard-working, dedicated parent who loves what they do.” Last week, they chose lesbian moms Tara and Becky Lien—but the notable thing about their coverage is that it is totally normalized. They don’t treat them any differently than any other couple, and don’t even need to point out the obvious—that they are a lesbian couple. Nicely done.

Author and poet Michelle Tea is writing at xojane about trying to get pregnant as “a single queer lady who hardly knows a single sperm-producing man.”

Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) has asked the U.S. Department of Education to reform policies “that discriminate against the children of same-sex couples and gay and transgendered students seeking federal financial assistance to attend college.”

About

Mombian is a lifestyle site for lesbian moms and other LGBTQ parents, offering a mix of parenting, politics, diversions, and resources.
I founded Mombian in 2005 after noting a lack of sites with current, practical news and information for LGBTQ parents, or sites that looked at other aspects of LGBTQ culture with a parent’s eye. I hope lesbian moms (and others) will find something interesting and perhaps worthy of conversation.
I also created and host the annual Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day event, which began in 2006.
